Sinekatalog’s take

A documentary that follows a young Cuban democracy activist for seven years as she carries on her father's fight. Nanfu Wang watches courage and risk at close range. Strong choice for viewers interested in political resistance.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
